This was definitely a WTF did I just read book. I feel like I should go to church and make a confession that I finished this book.

The mini stories that made up the whole story are written by someone very sick in the head, but what's even stranger I wasn't bothered by the stories, I wasn't grossed out as I was told I would be in fact it was quite a laughable story. I blame my dad for letting me watch "faces of death" as a child I'm not easily upset.

This book does have a lot of trigger warnings and not at all for the Faint of heart reader.

I found this book darkly humorous and disturbing.

Utterly ridiculous!!!! The review is not based on the the
explicit gore or the BDSM scene but on an absurd plot
and ending.

OH MY GODDDD.... That was.... That's What I would call a (beautiful ???) fucked up story. Ok let me rephrase that. THAT IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FUCKED UP STORY I HAVE EVER READ. It's on the same level of fucked-upness as Cows and Dead inside. Probably more!! But it's beautiful and has an immaculate ending which will blow your brain out of your nostrils.

In this short novel we follow a sweet gentleman named ANGEL and an equally sweat lady named SHYLA as they discuss some stories with each other in ROOM 6 of lonely motel. 

I lOVED this novel( or short story collection???) This one is not for the faint of heart. It has tons of triggers and I was thinking of DNFing this book after I read the second chapter. But I pushed through this one and I am happy I did. The ENDING WAS THE BEST PART OF THIS NOVEL. It brought everything in place and answered all my questions. Highly highly HIGHLY recommend this for fans of extreme horror genre. 4 absolutely disgusting, filthy, Brain liquifying stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟
